Updates
January 7, 2015: with regard to Armstrong Operating's First Creek well (see below, #28376):
The Armstrong well that is coming off confidential status on Thursday was a dry hole, and was plugged by the drilling rig. The seismographs for that spot showed a pool of fluid in the Tyler formation, but when they drilled into the pool it turned out to be 100% water. No oil at all.This does not surprise me; depressing and distressing, but does not surprise me. See "well search" at NDIC website for more about Armstrong Operating wells and permits.
Original Post
Remember: NDIC issues permits based on reasonable likelihood that operators will drill the well.

Disclaimer: my comments about these wells are based on very little production data. I make these comments simply for my own benefit to help me better understand the Bakken. My comments do not reflect at all how I think these wells will do long term. The qualitative adjectives are for my use only. If asked to comment on them, I will comment, "no comment."
